Researchers compared the postcodes of 120,000 child victims of road accidents between 2004 and 2008, to assess the risk of becoming a road casualty in 408 local authority areas.

According to the analysis, the riskiest area in the UK is Preston, where one child in every 206 is likely to be involved in a road collision annually. Kensington and Chelsea is the safest place in the UK, with a risk of only one in 1,158. On average nationally, one in 427 children is injured or killed in a road accident each year.
